This SSD caching lark makes a world of difference
I just moved the BF3 file over to my SSD using a symbolic link and it works a treat. All my other Steam / Origin games are still on a mechanical drive. Even the patch auto-downloaded onto the SSD but my comp still thinks it is on my other drive.
Load in times are now super quick and you can tell who has an SSD as they load in about 20 seconds quicker than the rest at the start of a round.
Well worth the upgrade. Win7 / drivers / BF3 fit easily onto a 64GB and even after the latest patch I have 19GB spare for any future patches / drivers.
Like the idea of that caching thing, what load times are you getting?

I keep getting a Directx error.... Any ideas?
Unless you like trial and error I highly suggest looking at some youtube vids of the missions, maybe after your first couple of goes on each. This will save allot of frustration in the long run, especially the last mission.

It’s a method we use the get the servers full, the server will automatically change the server slots as the player count goes up, this allows for people to find us when selecting 1-5 free slots and doesn’t disable quick join.
This is one of the reasons why our servers were full most of the time. Tho now they’ve put the location on the server its going to be more difficult to fill, as UK servers don’t often get a lot of love from outside uk, hence us keeping “UK” out of the name.
Just hope the 64man conquest will be nice and full come Karkand Release as the 1000 tickets BF2 maps only rotation will make the games last longer and thus more fun

School boy tactics like that just don't hold up against good pilots. Believe me, I've tried
How do u turn faster? Are you playing with joystick, k+m or 360 pad?
Hold down Shift to steady aim/hold breath.
This patch is AWESOME
Hooray Neil's game finally works
. What are peoples thoughts on the new patch; it gone in the right direction?Anyone think that the map where you jump off the cliff ledge is awesome?
I'd played that map as Conquest and thought it was a bit meh but on Rush that jump makes it all worthwhile.
I like to see how late I can leave it before I deploy the chute as I've been shot down with chute open too many times, besides parachuting is so slow.
I'm not sure how accurate it is either as there were a few 2 and 3ms pings on a server I was playing last night. Surely that low a ping isn't possible?

It's honestly one of the finest things ever put into a game ever. As far as level design goes for fighting your way down a mountain to the end, it's damn near perfect. It's great fun charging down with a squad under cover, getting to those big concrete walls on the edge of the base, everyone expecting you to come up and over the wall. C4 - BOOM!
The only poor part of the level is the tunnel at the end. It's inexplicably hard for the attackers to get the last two Mcoms, can turn into a bit of a slot shooter.
game does seem more stable. except was playing this morning.
1000 ticket map... was third from top nearing the end when i get a white screen and it crashes out to desktop.
seems like none of my stats at all have been registered?? i got promoted mid round as well and that has disappeared....
weird....
much better since patch though. just need to sort out the mines again...

I had this as well last night in the first few servers I played on. I could empty mag after mag into someone and no hit reg at all. My last game of the evening was exactly the opposite and I ended up on a killing spree.
I wonder whether some people have used this latency tweak thing and others haven't, I wonder whether the people I couldn't hit had?
Oh and the IRNV still seems OP in some maps at shorter distances, but at long distances, you cannot see anything at all.
Managed to kill about 7 people in a row with grenades last night, felt dirty, but if they must all camp round the corner..
Mines, what were they thinking. As previously suggested, there should be a limit to both AT and claymores, but they should be persistant (and not show up on the minimap unless spotted).

I've yet to use my xbox controller properly yet, I've just been using mouse and keyboard and think im finally getting the hang of it (even if I just hover in the air with heli
)
Same issue here, i think i cured the problem by using MSI afterburner and setting my fan speed to 70%, however your ranks should be saved refresh battlelog. I think the CTD midpart through game is due to the strain on the GPU i think we need to wait for a updated drivers which i assume would be pretty soon with the release of B2k , iv'e previously encountered Direct X errors ect.. but i know dont get the CTD when joining a game.
